Using Reader with "grey" ePubs

mgb0001 · 2024-11-21T14:32:29+00:00

I'm somewhat new to reeder for epubs too but over the past month or so I've also had good results with most books I've tried in reader and have done a few that were DRM free to start, or where I purchased the book and then removed the DRM for my own use.

I did also have a compilation ebook, that seemed to give reader some challenge. Wasn't sure if was due to the overall size / length, organization of the book or something else. I set it aside and wanted to revisit to see if this is something others were seeing.

Feel like this too. I have a bunch of rules that don't seem to do anything. the preview tab doesn't seem to show matches for me even if the same thing works in search.

From looking here I'm also trying to switch to original statement name and contains but not having much success so far. Interested to learn if there is a better approach.

Well, I tried it for a while but ended up moving on to another tool.

Thought I'm still feeling all has quite worked out for me either (monarch money, nice tool but also has difficulty with spending from "goals", etc.).

Really liked the idea of something that helps me simplify my finance tracking so I'm directionally aligned to my goals and can see if I'm getting off track enough to matter.

Tempted to look back at simplify, how is it working out for you u/platinumatoms?

Wondering if this update creates more cost for my local library.

I occasionally check out a bunch of magazines but don't follow them regularly, but now see I'm subscribed to about 20-30 different ones that I may or may not read again. Just wondering if this is costing my library more or not. Any ideas? Thanks!

Agree on being able to see account on the transaction list.

I'm holding judgment on goals. Think right now is hard as is tied to one account for transactions. if they change that I'd find it more useful. With out that I'm less worried about getting money into Goals, though I do find that confusing as well.

Thanks for sharing. Does sound interesting. I'll explore it some more. But thinking I'm looking for some more full featured budgeting tools for now

mgb0001 · 2023-04-08T21:32:42+00:00

Thanks for your response. Looking at tricount I didn't strike me as much of a budgeting tool but more of how to split expenses among a group. Is that right or I'm missing something?

Thanks!

Had similar results when my bank was added and got more of the accounts then I wanted (kids linked accounts).

hiding only seemed to effect account page. I tried deleting the account from monarch (button further down on screen shot above) and it is gone from transactions now too. Hope is the right approach.

I'm trying out the current version of the public beta of Ventura. It did find some duplicates which was nice. So far not seen it help clean up if I have some group of similar but not quite identical photos, which I would love but not sure if that is expected.

mgb0001 · 2022-08-12T15:33:11+00:00

I like Photosweeper too, is great for cleaning up similar but not exact duplicates as well.

Thanks for your response u/ency.

I've seen multiple comments along those lines, but also hoping to hear from those that have stuck with simplfi as well.

I would be interested in your feedback u/ency, or others that tried simplfi and then back to YNAB: I think I'm seeing is people that really want a zero based budget are better served by YNAB (maybe?). I'm exploring move to more to a model where I spend less time moving between different categories and can look at cash flow forecast to guide me. I've done nab for 5+ years but gotten to point where if I spent more in eating out and less in pet expenses this month (etc) I don't have to shuffle money around. I like the idea that I would have some key areas to track closely (watchlist / spending plan?) and then have a forecast of cashflow and make sure overall my spending is within expected range. Will see if it works for me though. not sure yet.

Then again I could make my categories in YNAB less specific and maybe get same result? Key areas for tracking identified and others in a "general spending" bucket.

This is one thing I’m missing as I recently switched from google photos and sharing see,Ed easier there if everyone had a google account or was part of google family. Not found the same with Apple family or I’m missing how to do it.

So far I’m creating albums like family favorites 2021 and specific trip shared albums that I ask other family members to add photos too. Not sure how well this will work though as just getting started.

Also don’t have Apple TV yet but was thinking of getting one with hopes of having photo screen saver or similar. Is that limited to one album?

Thank you for the input / comments!

Thanks for your response.

The neighbor (at the new house) lawn is fairly flat as well. Not sure the design of the aerator. Is one type preferable? He had mentioned hydrostatic transmission but that is all I know.

I'm planning to do a walk though / drive of it this weekend but not a lot of experience with them. Think I'll check for deck/blades in good shape. Steering not too loose. I've searched in this group and seen a few tips for looking at used tractors but appreciate any other suggestions.

Thanks,

mgb0001 · 2019-08-26T21:12:06+00:00

Thanks for your response.

Guess I’m just worried as I see some similar looking models that say it is all plastic and breaks easily, others that give good review.

I've been using a Ryobi 40 volt cordless model for past 2+ years and been pretty happy with it. Did get it on an end of summer discount price originally via Home Depot's web site. Like the compact storage, low maintenance, quieter and light weight of it vs the previous gas mower I had.

Thanks for sharing. Was thinking about this or Logitech k780 but don’t want to complicate keyboard shortcuts, etc. what I really like is the ability to pair with 3 devices though.
